General Improvements

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Unique application for providing the official geographic addressing system adopted in the Emirates of Dubai, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah & Ras Al Khaimah. Dubai is the first city in the world to use numbers called "Makani Number" to exactly locating building’s entrance(s). Simple addressing, consists of 10 digits only (E.g.: 30032 95320) which doesn’t require using names, codes or explaining the location’s direction. Mentioning only numbers for describing location suits multi-nationalities with different languages in the U.A.E. The application aims to make it easy for all residents and tourists to search, define & locate places and enjoy navigating to desired destinations by using mobiles, tablets, desktop & GPS navigational devices accurately and quickly. • Search for Makani numbers & point of interest by voice. • Building boundary & its main entrance(s) highlights will be pointed with Makani Number once the user points on a building in the satellite/normal mode through the interactive map. • Full details of selected place with street level imagery view. • Ability to link Makani number with contact on your mobile for direct access & search. • Manage your favourite (saved) places in a very simple way. • Advanced Search using land number and the traditional addressing system to specify a location & get its Makani Number. • Reads QR code in Makani plates & finds all related information. • Plan route with multi destinations; shows the routes on the map & explains the steps to reach the target site. • Share the location of a place with others through different communication channels. • English & Arabic interfaces.

Makani APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Makani APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 0438f1f8e038f1118b460bdd2d88a5c1.
